Do you run a high end power cord on your sub?


I have a Rel B2 sub in my system, and have never really bothered with a decent power cord for it. I have an "Iron Lung Jellyfish" power cord, which is better than a stock cord. It is a $30 cord but is actually suprisingly good when you are just "testing the waters" of what power cords can do. I am considering something better, but not sure if this is the best place to spend money? What are your experiences with upgraded power cords for subwoofers? I am thinking about an Audience Powerchord e, as I use Audience power cords on my other components.

Other components in my system:
Thor Audio TA-1000 mk II preamp
BAT VK-55SE amp
Hyperion HPS-938 speakers
PS Audio PWD mk 2
Audience AR6T power conditioner and power cords
Nordost Heimdall IC's
Anticables speaker cables

Yes, funny but the power cords cost more than the subs. Each sub also has its own dedicated line as well. I preferred the stock cords to Pangea AC14Se. The Nordost Brahma's are a definite improvement over either.
Just because you are a disgruntled past owner of S.R. products, does not mean you have the RIGHT to convince other people to try and sell another product for another company.
Actually, he does have the RIGHT to post his opinion on this forum about how different products sound to him, and can express his recommendations as long as he is not a representative for the companies discussed. Readers can decide what they want to believe.
We did test many different powercables on our subwoofers. There was one powercable who beat them all by far. Purist Audio gives superior deep low freq, better timing and even in the higher freq it was better. These days we go up to 140hz. This makes the integration a lot better with the speakers. Thicker cables work often a lot better with subwoofers. I sold Nordost for about 10 years of time. There cables are not the best combination for subwoofers.
You know what's pretty clear with Joeyboynj, is that you vaguely give simple words like "blow away" and you can never ever explain in detail the differences between the cords or the qualities of the HD cords. Which makes me/us believe your an S.R representative or dealer. Am I correct? You have ignorantly posted on the HD thread about S.R and the Hidiamond P4 vs Nordost Valhalla PC thread so why don't you practice what your preaching. You sound very hypocritical to all of us on the Gon here. It also doesn't matter what's in my system. This thread is about cords. You go way off topic and your not looking very good so far......

Please Explain:
You meantioned in the "do you run a high end power cord on your sub" thread that quote on quote that "you've demo'ed HD P4 and Valhalla power cords through the Cable Company". Can you kindly explain to everyone in all of Audiogon how you demo'ed the HiDiamond cords from the Cable Company when they don't even have or sell Hidiamond. Really, I'm sure we all want to here your explanation how the S.R element tungsten was the clear winner. And in this thread you say your nice friend sent you his Hifi-D P3 and P4. Where did you get your - and the real name of the cord is a HD P3 - not Hifi-D P3? So which story is it? Tell us all.

All this clearly tells all of us that your conclusions of the Hidiamond cords are false and you are either a S.R representative or you just can't deal with all the Hidiamond quality cables and people liking them. You state if no one can demo a cable(meaning HD) than quote on quote "I say stay away from those companies". Who the hell are you to say that to anyone? What gives you that rite?
Plus you also spoke of quote on quote "no name/inferior power cord company that doesn't offer a money back guarantee". Hidiamond is the company and Italian made. Do you call Ferrari's/Pagani's/Lamborghini's all no name/inferior sports cars. I dare you. Almost all people that buy Hidiamond cords - keep Hidiamond cords. That's why there aren't many up for sale online - but the list of S.R's is bigger than my kids letter to Santa and we've all seen that. Just saying the truth.....

This all also tells us that you are unfair and dishonest about what you write in the threads concerning Hidiamond cables. I have had S.R cords and spoke lots of times to Ted Denney and Elliot in the past, great guys. But I listened to HD and liked the quality of sound better and put lots of money back into my pocket - the threads say it all in honesty. You know what's really realistic, is the greater number of people I sold my S.R cords to asked me why am I selling them and I said I'm changing to Hidiamond. They actually sold their S.R and switched to Hidiamond after hearing them. Just their opinion like mine.

All cords do things better/worse than others. Some people have good ears or bad ears, compatible/incompatible gear, more money/less money, system synergy is the given term. But then there are people like you that trash Hidiamond threads, cords and actual people who are honest, sincere and passionate about what they have, believe in and listen to. Honesty is the best policy which clearly here you don't have. IMO, I think you should stay off all the threads.....and I would think others will too. Your credibility if any went out the window.......my credibility and honesty is in the threads? I don't tell anybody what to do, I only make suggestions.

Everybody should try anything they please and in the end, choose the best quality sound they hear for their own budget.....let your ears decide and when you've sat down, closed your eyes and listen to only your music and not your speakers, cords or components, you know you've got it rite - like I have with Hidiamond.....
I owned and sold many Valhalla powercables. But for subwoofers they do not go low enough. Compared to Purist Audio there not in the same league. I sold most of them to clients with sources and pre amps. Because they work here a lot better.
